1963 Map of Lisbon

About this map

The town of Lisbon serves as the central hub of this St. Lawrence County landscape during the early 1960s. The village is anchored by the Lisbon Central Sch and the Lisbon Cem, while a network of rural roads such as Dezell Road and Morley Road connects outlying hamlets. Evidence of the region's changing transportation is found in the Abandoned railroad line passing through the heart of the township. Southward, the settlement of Flackville is marked by the Flackville Cem and the Covenanter Ch. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and wandering watercourses like Sucker Brook and Brandy Creek, interspersed with numerous sand and gravel operations. Local family names are preserved at rural crossroads including Gregory Corners, Woodbridge Corners, and North Corners, providing a detailed look at the agricultural and residential patterns of mid-century upstate New York.
